this is one thing that alot of writers "struggle" with; choosing your Pseudonym or Pen Name.

My Given Name is ScottDavid Rankins, I hate my middle name of David because there were too many people with that name during my School Years. When I graduated from High School, I created a fictional Genealogy for my characters and the Great Grandfather of my Villain was named PyrrhusEmery Coal which means Fire Powered Stone (loosely)

Well I'm thinking that when I do finish my novel and try to get it published the Editors would want to change my name... the newest one I was thinking of is Chris Jenkins because one of my neighbors thinks my name is Chris (from Family Guy) and Jenkins sounds better with that Given Name.
